We study the convergence of an axially symmetric hypersurface evolving by volume preserving mean curvature flow. Assuming the surface is not pinching off along the axis at any time during the flow, and without any additional conditions, as…
Motivated by a recent groundbreaking work of Ontaneda, we describe a sizable class of closed manifolds such that the product of each manifold in the class with the real line admits a complete metric of bounded negative sectional curvature…
In the present paper, we introduce a new concept of convexity which is generated by a family of endomorphisms of an Abelian group. In Abelian groups equipped with a translation invariant metric, we define the boundedness, the norm, the…
For Einstein four-manifolds with positive scalar curvature, we derive relations among various positivity conditions on the curvature tensor, some of which are of great importance in the study of the Ricci flow. These relations suggest…
We considered the most general form of non-static cylindrically symmetric space-times for studying proper curvature symmetry by using the rank of the 6X6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper curvature symmetry…
A rigidly rotating incompressible perfect fluid solution of Einstein's gravitational equations is discussed. The Petrov type is D, and the metric admits a four-parameter isometry group. The Gaussian curvature of the constant-pressure…
The aim of this short paper is threefold. First, we develop an implicit generalization of a constitutive relation introduced by Korteweg [10] that can describe the phenomenon of capillarity. Second, using a sub-class of the constitutive…

We consider a volume preserving curvature evolution of surfaces in an asymptotically Euclidean initial data set with positive ADM-energy. The speed is given by a nonlinear function of the mean curvature which generalizes the spacetime mean…
We derive the field equations for topologically massive gravity coupled with the most general quadratic curvature terms using the language of exterior differential forms and a first order constrained variational principle. We find…
In this paper, we classify the class of constant weighted curvature curves in the plane with a log-linear density, or in other words, classify all traveling curved fronts with a constant forcing term in $\Bbb R^2.$ The classification gives…
In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…
We study wave scattering from a gently curved surface. We show that the recursive relations, implied by shift invariance, among the coefficients of the perturbative series for the scattering amplitude allow to perform an infinite…
We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…
A convergence theorem is proved for a class of Nystrom methods for weakly singular integral equations on surfaces in three dimensions. Fredholm equations of the second kind as arise in connection with linear elliptic boundary value problems…

We prove the murmuration phenomenon, which is a correlation between signs of functional equations and Fourier coefficients, in the case of modular forms in the weight aspect. We in particular improve the range of visibility of murmurations…
We consider the volume preserving geometric evolution of the boundary of a set under fractional mean curvature. We show that smooth convex solutions maintain their fractional curvatures bounded for all times, and the long time asymptotics…
